When the boys are away . . .

The Girls like to Play!
Bart & Adam are away on a boys ski trip this weekend so Heidi, Richard & Ezra came to have a weekend sleepover. Last night after the kiddos were asleep Heidi & I got to sneak away to see Confessions of a Shopoholic, which was way cute but totally different than the book.

Today we spent the day at Liberty Park riding bikes, taking turns running around the loop & playing at the playground. It was absolutly beautiful!

I loved this brick backdrop. I am going to take the kids back & do a real photo shoot.

Tonight we just finished up watching some Gilmore Girls. I am excited to start watching the series from the 1st episode on dvd:) Just another vice . . .

Happy Valentines Day #2

Valentines Day #1

Eva has declared today as Valentines Day #1. Tomorrow is Valentines day #2.

She was so excited to pass out her valentines at school today. And after school she could hardly wait to open the valentines she got from her friends at school.

After she opened each one, she would yell out "Thank you Olivia" or whoever the card was from.
I could not get cute faces on both of them at the same time!!!

Stella has learned to clap her hands . . . she claps when she is excited, when she is proud of herself & apparently for pictures too!
I love it when sisters play nice together :)

So Stella has decided that she is a big girl & will not let me feed her from a spoon . . .

Messy . . . but it gets the job done!

Cool Training Program

I found a great training program . . .
http://www.ontri.com/
It is quick and easy to sign up and best of all its FREE. You tell it what event you are doing (triathlon, marathon, century etc.), the date of the event and your fitness level. Then it comes up with a day to day program. My favorite part of it is that there is place to log your workouts and take notes on workout specifics.
Check it out!

Classic!

Eva gets my Complete Guide To Breastfeeding book out of my nightstand and says, "Mom, I have to read my scriptures". She takes the book over to the couch lays it out, puts her finger on the page and says "Jesus is going to watch American Idol". Then her finger continues to follow along the words as she rambles a few other random things.

Stop blogging & Start Training!!

Anybody that wants a good goal and to just do something fun for YOURSELF . . . you should sign up. It is always more fun with friends!hint . . . hint! Last year I did my first one with only 3 months of training (only 4 months after I had Stella). So really anybody can do it! It is just so great to have something to FOCUS on other than kids & housework!

I better get off the computer and get moving!!!
